Default Orchid Question

Hello Everyone,

In May, I bought three Dienia ophrys 'Frisky' (Syn.: Malaxa latifolia
'Frisky'). I bought them in flower and kept them flowering, and in good
health since. They have built up both strong leafy growth and 'bulbs'
for next year. Now, one or two leaves are yellowing. I'm not too
worried about this as I understand they are deciduous. However, despite
searching on line and through my many books, I cannot find any
substantial cultivation instructions. The ones given with the plant are
extremely limited.

Do I cease watering them .. now or later ..? I imagine I must stop
feeding them? Should they be allowed to rest dry, like Pleiones, then
restarted into growth in spring, or kept barely moist?? What
over-winter temps and light do they prefer?

I would appreciate any help/clues.
Thanks.
